Code "markdown" for OneNote?
-
We love using OneNote for all of our internal notes. All of my notes for personal, business, clients, etc live in OneNote. When I want to document something for internal use only, and want to document code
like this, so it shows up all nice and colored, and easy to differentiate between other text on the pageThere really isn't an option with built in tools with OneNote. Of course, I could just bold the lines of code or color them, but are there any plugins available for OneNote that allows for nice "code markdown" like on this site?
-
Really, what I'm looking for is an addin that supports code blocks, and preserves their formatting and colors.
-
I like to keep rough notes in OneNote for myself before final-copying them to the IT Wiki... it's fast and easy to put stuff wherever. I haven't come across anything either, but I haven't really had the need to look because I just highlight code and change it to 'courier new' font. That seems to work pretty well for me, although there's no highlighting
-
What's worse is the Sharepoint wiki doesn't preserve code. It's a mess.
-
I just use our Gitlab server for documentation. It supports markdown and keeps it in version control.
-
Using Git probably does make a lot of sense.
-
I would absolutely use Sharepoint for documentation if it had better features.
OneNote is great for documentation, and the search functionality is amazing. It's just a shame that this feature is missing.
@stacksofplates I've never used GitLab. I'll have to check those guys out.

How about for internal documentation, such as an IT knowledgebase?

Let me expand this into keeping formatting for stuff such as PowerShell scripts.

GIT still.

Could someone screen shot one of their IT KB articles on their GitLab? My experience with it was always the Dev side... nothing regarding IT wiki KBs or whatever you want to call them.
I'm interested to see what your GitLab article and area look like. Perhaps it's a better solution than the one I'm using now.

It's ONLY the code that we put there, not articles. Well not here, anyway.

Oh I see. I misunderstood.

Some GIT systems have a wiki for documentation, though. That's not uncommon.

@scottalanmiller You still do your main internal documentation in OneNote or SharePoint, or have you moved to something else?

Ya. Gitlab has a repo for the code and a whole other repo for documentation/wiki for that code by default.
